How to be a Good Listener
Being a good listener can help you see the world through the eyes of others. Good listening skills can provide you with a deeper level of understanding about someone's situation. If you want to know how to be a good listener, read on to get started.
·Place yourself in other people's shoes. It's easy to only consider the impact of the other person's "telling" on you. But you must open out and look at the problems from the other person's view.
·Avoid comparing the person's experiences to your own. You may think that the best thing you can do to really listen is to compare the person's experiences to your own. But this type of thinking actually makes the person feel like you're not really listening at all. That means that you're focusing more on yourself than on the person's situation.
· Some people think that, when they're listening, they should find a quick and easy solution to the person's problem. According to the research, it is totally wrong to do so. Instead focus on absorbing everything the person is saying to you. Only after that can you really try to help.
·Know what not to do. Knowing what to avoid when you're trying to be a good listener can be almost as helpful as knowing what to do. If you want the speaker to take you seriously, you'd better not interrupt in the middle of a point. Make eye contact with the person so that he or she realizes that you are listening with interest.
A. Don't try to help immediately.
B. Avoid saying "I" or "me" a lot.
C. Try to solve the person's problem quickly.
D. Don't try to change the subject even if it's a little uncomfortable.
E. If so, you would see your way through the problems much faster.
F. Therefore you'd better listen to what the person is saying carefully.
G. It enriches your understanding and expands your capacity for empathy (同情).
The book ABigFatCrisis: TheHiddenForcesBehindObesityEpidemic— andHowWeCanEndIt by Deborah Cohen, a senior natural scientist, is very popular now. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} But according to this book, the following are some misunderstandings of obesity or being overweight.
1).If you're obese, blame your genes.
{#blank#}2{#/blank#} Yet, between 1980 and 2000, the number of Americans who are obese has doubled—too quickly for genetic factors to be responsible. At restaurants, a dollar puts more calories on our plates than ever before, because restaurant meals usually have more calories than what we prepare at home, so people who eat out more frequently have higher rates of obesity than those who eat out less.
2).If you're obese, you lack selfcontrol.
Research shows that if we are faced with too much information, we have a tendency to make poor choices on diet. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} Even, the most vigilant(警觉的)people may not be good controllers of themselves.
3).{#blank#}4{#/blank#}
Although the US Department of Agriculture estimates that fewer than 5 per cent of Americans live in the “food deserts”, about 65 per cent of the nation's population is obese. For most of us, obesity is not related to access to more fresh fruits and vegetables, but to the choices we make in supermarkets.
4).The problem is not that we eat too much, but that we don't exercise.
Michelle Obama's “Let's Move” campaign is based on the idea that if kids exercise more, childhood obesity rates will decrease. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} In fact, although a drop in workrelated physical activity may explain up to 100 fewer calories burned, leisure physical activity appears to have increased.
A.Lack of access to fresh fruits and vegetables is a cause of obesity. B.Obesity rates have increased. C.Fresh fruits and vegetables we choose in a supermarket are related to obesity. D.But there was no obvious decrease in physical activity levels as obesity rates climbed in the 1980s and 1990s. E.People hold different views on obesity. F.People benefit a lot from physical activities. G.Our world has become so rich in food that we can be led to consume too much in ways we can't understand. |
